I'm doing about a 50/50 mix of wig and no-wig lately. I still think I'm way more passable with a wig, but as I grow my hair out it's becoming easier to just go without it. I'm lucky in that at 36 I...

A lot depends on what you define as a work-from-home job. I took a consulting position a couple of years ago, after a career in retail automotive dealership management. I have to travel, but my...
I had that happen years ago (like back in the Myspace era). A friend of a friend started messaging my girl profile flirting with me and trying to take me out. Honestly, he's pretty cute and a really...
I listen to just about anything, but I will admit that the girly me has a bit more of a taste for terrible house/electronica music and dance remixes. I attribute this to the large amount of time...
I go through my male and female wardrobe a couple times a year to get rid of things that are out of style or that I just don't like anymore. Tastes and trends change and there's nothing wrong with...
It depends on how you define passing. With my build, it'll be a challenge to ever be able to pass 100%. But I am perfectly happy to be a reasonably attractive trans girl who is authentic to myself....
There's a general assumption that since we're all under the LGBT umbrella that a gay bar is still a much safer place to go out than a straight bar. You're way less likely to get your ass kicked by...
Tina Fey. Smart, funny and attractive.
Either a big red, like a Petite Syrah or a Malbec.
Let them stare. I've given up on caring if I "pass" or if I'm "accepted". I'm a fellow human, and they can either deal with me or not.
If we constantly live in fear of people realizing that we're...
I deliberately got my tat that's on my upper back so that it's visible when I'm dressed. It's motorcycle-inspired artwork, fairly masculine, but I like the juxtaposition between that and the feminine...
My wife seems to be more into sex when I'm dressed than when I'm not. She has had a (GG) girlfriend in the past, so this allows her to flirt with her bisexuality. We're both pretty adventurous...
I wear flat women's leather boots as a guy pretty regularly in the winter, and I have a pair of Uggs that I always wear when dog walking. My casual shoes are usually Chuck Taylors, which are pretty...
Agreed. Kudos for making it work. I've been going out now for almost a decade and I STILL go with the tunic-length top with wearing leggings.
There's probably some truth to this. My wife is definitely on the girly side, but she also has had lesbian relationships in the past and is comfortable with gender and sexual fluidity. We're probably...
I've had the same experiences. When I was single, I always sucked at going to bars as a guy. When I started going to bars as a girl (or at least as a guy in a skirt), I met an absolute TON of women....
I think a lot of people seem to have tunnel vision about what jobs a transperson can have. As long as the company that you're working for is open to gender diversity, you can do whatever you want. My...
Well said. I feel sorry for the CDers and other Transpeople who are so self-loathing they feel there is no other choice but to hide in the closet.
That's why I always try on dresses in the store before buying. I've found that dresses are way pickier about who they look good on than separates. I've had my heart broken more than once when I try...
I agree with Lorileah as well.
If she's not going to be cool with you dressing, then by getting yourself invested a relationship you are only setting yourself for heartache. I'm not saying you...
I think it's the happy byproduct of kids being exposed to the idea of diversity as "normal". Thanks to positive LGBT images in the media, kids are actually exposed to the fact that gender divergent...
Considering that the whole point of therapy is to work out your issues, it's crazy (no pun intended) to not tell your therapist about your gender issues. It's like taking your car to the mechanic...
My wife and I do the same thing. It's amazing how well it works for getting us past whatever the other partner is doing to piss us off.
We also have a policy..."don't go to bed angry...stay up and...
I picked my name over ten years ago. In 2006 I decided that it didn't really fit me, and since my male name is androgynous in sound (but not in spelling), I just chose to go by that in the real...
Tell him the truth. Tell him exactly what happened, what you found and that you're okay with it. The biggest fear he has is that when you find out you'll run screaming for the hills. Tell him that...
